The necessary elements to establish an informal, or common-law, marriage in Texas are:1. An agreement to be married between the spouses,2. Living together as spouses after such an agreement, and3. "Holding out" each other as spouses after such an agreement.The parties may, but are not required to, register their informal marriage with the county clerk.The "agreement" is not required to be written. It must, however, be "present", i.e. not "we are going to get married" but rather "we are married."
